County Town
"Young fella, do you buy cabbages here? We’re from another county and heard that cabbages are pricey around here, so we specifically brought a cartload over!" An old farr called out to Yang Chun, tugging a cart of cabbages.
"We do, uncle, we do! Co with us straight back!"
Yang Chun was overjoyed upon seeing soone co to sell cabbages and imdiately tried to take him along!
"Hold up!"
Unexpectedly, he was intercepted again. It had been like this for days, so he hadn’t managed to buy any cabbage at all.
"Brother, they offer low prices, but co with us, we offer sixty cents a pound!"
"Uncle, we’ll give you sixty-five cents! Co with !" Yang Chun went all out too.
"I’ll give seventy cents!"
"I’ll give seventy-five cents!"
"I’ll give eighty cents!"
"..."
"Can’t afford it now, can you, brother? Let’s go."
Yang Chun just watched as the old farr walked away with the other guy! A silly smile appeared on his face, finally, he could go ho. It had been ten days!
Yang Chun and Yang Gang reached the previously arranged spot and waited a while until Yang Ming arrived.
"Third brother, you’re good, that old farr act was so convincing!"
"I almost didn’t recognize him!"
"Big brother, second brother, let’s go. The fourth brother is waiting, and the cabbages are already back!"
At this mont, Yang Ming couldn’t wait to fly back, having not seen his wife in ten days.
The group quickly joined up with Yang Dong. Yang Gang was shocked to see the line of wagons; the third brother was truly impressive. He imdiately stepped forward, lifted the cover, and seeing the neatly stacked cabbages, was overjoyed, continuously muttering, "Aweso! Aweso!"
"Alright, let’s get going! Save the celebrations for when we’re ho."
Speaking thus, they drove the wagons away!
Yuelai Restaurant
"How are things now?"
Chu Lian sat leisurely in a private room, sipping tea, waiting for the result; unexpectedly, Dongfeng Restaurant, to prevent him from selling spicy cabbage, had started buying up cabbages at high prices.
"Young Master, cabbages have gone up to eighty cents a pound, but that Yang Ming has pulled back and taken the cabbages ho!"
"He pulled back so soon? Send soone down there, stir the pot!" Free Silver, can’t miss out, let’s see how long Dongfeng Restaurant can hold out!
anwhile, Xiaoxiao was in the courtyard working with everyone when she heard her sister-in-law, Guangguang, running in breathlessly.
"Third aunt, they’re back, they’re back!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao quickly dropped what she was doing and ran to the door, only to see many wagons heading their way, covered with blankets, undoubtedly carrying cabbages!
Seeing Yang Ming waving at her from afar, Xiaoxiao just stood at the doorway, watching, waiting, smiling. He’d done it! He’d really done it!
Upon arrival, everyone hurriedly started unloading. It was bustling work till evening before they paid off the wagon team and they departed.
After dinner, when they entered the house, Yang Ming handed sothing to Xiaoxiao, "Here, this is for you!"
"What is it?" Xiaoxiao opened it and saw... it was the five hundred taels of Silver he had taken, returned intact?
Perplexed, she then heard Yang Ming say, "On the way back, we hauled an extra cartload, eighty cents a pound, sold it to the fool who tries to ss with you!"
"..." This is profiteering! Impressive, my brother!
"Yang Ming, you’re truly amazing, absolutely incredible!" Xiaoxiao said, giving Yang Ming a big thumbs up!
